This blog shares the experiences I've had implementing various solutions to saving energy, primarily in my home. Over the past few years, I've cut my yearly electric usage by over 12,000 kwh per year, natural gas by 133 ccf per year, and am saving over $700 per year even though energy prices have increased more than 250% over the same period. Many of these solutions cost less than a couple hundred dollars, some less than $10, so they're definitely worth the effort.
My home is a 2500 square foot house built in the 1970's. We live in Louisiana, so our home needs a lot more protection from the heat than the cold. However, we do have cold snaps that bring us below the freezing mark periodically, so heating is still a concern.
Usually I focus on energy, but I just fixed a leaky toilet. Leaks like this can waste 20 gallons of water per day if not taken care of, which can cost a good amount of money at the end of the month. In light of this, I found a water conservation tips website that can help cut water waste and that monthly water bill.
